Sensory Wonderland: Help Transform My Special Education Classroom!
Help me give my students a cubby bookcase, floor pillows, a rug, stress balls, and other items for a welcoming and accommodating classroom where everything is designed with sensory needs in mind, ensuring that students feel supported, engaged, and included!
FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Fregoso's classroom raised $696

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Project
I absolutely love my students for their unique perspectives, boundless creativity, and incredible resilience. Each of them brings something special to our classroom, and I am dedicated to creating an environment where they can thrive. The sensory-friendly and inclusive resources I am requesting will make a significant difference in their learning by providing the necessary tools to accommodate their diverse sensory needs.
These items will help create a calm and engaging atmosphere, allowing students to focus better, reduce anxiety, and improve their overall learning experience.
For example, sensory toys and tactile learning materials will cater to different sensory preferences, while visual aids in vibrant colors will enhance students' understanding and retention of new concepts.
My primary goal is to ensure that every student feels supported and included in our classroom. By integrating sensory-friendly resources, I aim to enhance student engagement and participation, reduce sensory overload to create a calming learning environment, create a sense of inclusion and belonging for all students, and effectively support diverse learning styles and needs. This holistic approach will help each student thrive in a personalized, supportive educational setting.
My students are extraordinary because of their individuality and the unique challenges they overcome daily. They demonstrate incredible determination and enthusiasm for learning, despite any obstacles they may face. Their diverse abilities and perspectives enrich our classroom, making it a dynamic and inspiring place to teach and learn. By providing them with the right resources, I hope to nurture their potential and celebrate their achievements every step of the way.
